There are over 300 bank robberies in Boston every year. And a one-square-mile neighborhood in Boston, called Charlestown, has produced more bank robbers than anywhere in the U.S. One of them is Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck), the leader of a crew of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves on taking what they want and getting out clean. The only family Doug has are his partners in crime, especially Jem (Jeremy Renner), the closest thing Doug ever had to a brother. Things change when Jem takes a blindfolded hostage: bank manager Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall). After the job, Doug seeks out Claire, who has no idea that this charming stranger is one of the men who terrorized her only days before. As his relationship with Claire deepens into a passionate romance, Doug wants out of this life and the town. But with the Feds, led by Agent Frawley (Jon Hamm), closing in and Jem questioning his loyalty, Doug realizes that getting out will not be easy and, worse, may put Claire in the line of fire.

Amazing

By far the best film I have ever watched, acting is brilliant. If you haven't seen this yet, sort it out!

One to watch

Affleck is turning out to be a very artistic director, Renner on the other hand absolutely earns his Oscar nomination and is rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with. Even Blake Lively plays well in the film! Watch it!!!

Fantastic action crime thriller

A great film shot at a fast pace tracking a group of notorious bank robbers as they move from one crime to the next, leaving an interesting and detailed trail of destruction behind them. Fantastic action scenes, full of twists and surprises.

When a female hostage is taken and later released, Doug (Affleck) falls for the woman, refusing to let her return to her normal lifestyle. Little does she know, but he is one of the criminals who turned her world upside down just days earlier.

One of the best films I have seen for some time, and given that I am a big action-crime-thriller fan, this film does not disappoint. Non stop action from the first to the last and well worth a watch!

Great Movie

Loved it! Was in two minds based on the description, but it made a thoroughly enjoyable Saturday night's viewing for me and the Mrs. Is it a bit stereotyped? Yes. Is the acting perfect? No. Is the script truly wonderful? No. But nonetheless it's a gripping heist movie which I can strongly recommend.

2011-02-28

2011-02-27

Entertaining

A thoroughly good watch- well done, Mr Affleck!

2011-02-25

Good film but.........iTunes is a rip off

One of the best films ov the last few years.........but then again that don't take much......if your gonna get ripped off by iTunes like i do this one is a little less painful..........iTunes aka dick turpin...at least he had a mask........

2011-02-23

So dissapointing!

What can i say? Very boring no action just a romance . If you like a slow film with love and little action its perfect for you.

2011-02-17

Decent watch!

Best movie in past few months for me, that is all.

2011-02-15

really good

very good story line, fantastic film

A brilliant film

brilliant film really enjoyed.

The Town

This is a good film. We watched the extended version which i would highly recommend. If you like a film you can get immersed in over the course of an evening, has a good pace, character development, good acting, action and a good story then you can't do better than this. Ben Affleck is good in it and brilliant directing it. Definitely worth a watch.

2011-02-06

Good!

Could have been so good...

Plenty of potential but sadly, a waste of 2+ hours. Dreadful casting, the FBI actors are atrocious and the dialogue between them was so cliche and sterile, I'm sure George Lucas wrote the script. Zero chemistry between Affleck and his leading lady.

Overall a very poor attempt of mixing Heat with Point Break.

The films only saving grace was Pete Postlethwaite who is on screen for < 10 mins but has more charisma and ability than the entire cast put together... apart from Chris Cooper, he's always fun to watch. Don't waste your time.

You have to be kidding

I'm not sure what film these people saw, but this was by turns boring, unbelievable, ridiculous, incomprehensible, simplistic, and ultimately a shoot-em-up load of tosh.

Don't buy it, like I did, because there is no way you'll want to watch it more than once. And I like Ben Afffleck, so that's how bad it was.

2011-02-03

Nice one Ben

For me Ben Affleck has always been under rated as an actor, but this is something else. Great plot, excellent acting and a real gritty tail. Mr Affleck has surpassed himself being the writer, director and lead actor, back to the salad days of good will hunting. Cannot recommend enough you would be a fool not to watch......

2011-02-02

poor

Wrong actor to play the lead , Ben Affleck is just not convincing in this role , Bruce Willis may have got away with it , the pace is real slow

and f the plot feels pointless.. No need for a directors cut , the first was bad enough!!

2011-02-01

The Town

Watched due to hype-mediocre at best-the fact that Ben Affleck displays some acting ability seems to have proved he can act better than he did in Pearl Harbour seems to have come as such a surprise to many it instantly made this so so thriller "brilliant". Much of the script seems lifted from other heist movies, the cop/robber tension is a direct lift from Heat, as is the main action scene, and also to all intents and purposes, the ending. Its also absolutely chocker with howlers of the most dumb sort-including an FBI SWAT team that appears to have no access to the most routine tools- such as CS for instance. But if you like run of the mill thrillers after the pub closes its as good as any.

2011-01-19

fantastic

Great film, some quality action scenes, must buy!!

2011-01-04

Awesome

I've just watched this on my flight from London to Singapore and was initially put off by the presence of Affleck, but gave it a shot! If you've seen and enjoyed films like Ronin or Heat, then you'll love it. A must-buy once it's released on iTunes.

Soooooooo good :)

Aye

Simply brilliant!

The Town

The Town is one of the finest thrillers i have seen this year. The storyline follows a nice pace with an intense and gripping plot, and the action scenes are done really well. The acting is outstanding, escpecially from Ben Affleck, who is back to his best as director, wiriter and actor. And Jeremy Renner is no one hit wonder as he who proves that his oscar nominated performance in the Hurt Locker is not a one-off, he deserves another for his supporting role as the unhinged bankrobber 'Jem'. You will definitely not be disappointed after watching this incredible tense thriller, it is a must see film in my opinion.

2010-12-23

awesome

Simply Brilliant....non stop action...a romance that would never exist,but would linger in the heart & mind.

At times when you think it slows down........it then explodes again keeping your eyes peeled incase you miss something

One of the best movies of 2010.

On the big screen its awesome ,so buy and watch on a big screen...

You won't be disappointed.
